樹脂組成物は、ナフタレン環を2つ含み前記2つのナフタレン環がアルキレン鎖で連結されている構造を分子中に有する3官能以上の第1のエポキシ樹脂と、メソゲン構造を分子中に有する2官能の第2のエポキシ樹脂と、硬化剤と、を含有する。樹脂組成物は、必要に応じてその他の成分を更に含んでいてもよい。
硬化後において熱伝導性が向上するのは、硬化した樹脂の規則性が従来の樹脂と比較して高まるためである。これには硬化による架橋密度の増加及びエポキシ樹脂の主鎖に含まれるメソゲン構造の結晶性骨格が分子間力によりスタッキングしていることが寄与している。また、このスタッキングと架橋密度の増加はそれぞれが独立して起こる現象ではなく、並列して起こる現象である。これは、特定の第1のエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤を硬化した硬化物又は特定の第2のエポキシ樹脂と硬化剤とを硬化した硬化物と、第1のエポキシ樹脂、第2のエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤を含む樹脂組成物を硬化した硬化物とを比較すると明らかであり、特定の第1のエポキシ樹脂及び特定の第2のエポキシ樹脂を混合して用いた樹脂組成物の方が熱伝導性に優れる。一般的にセラミックス、金属の結晶等は異物のない単一な物質の方が結晶の規則性が高まるため、熱伝導率は高くなる。樹脂も同様であり、単一のエポキシ樹脂を用いた場合の方が高い熱伝導率を示すのが通常である。しかし、実際は特定のエポキシ樹脂を混合した方が熱伝導率については高い値を示すと考えられる。
高温での接着性については、本樹脂系では高い架橋密度を狙ったものではなく、一方で、ガラス転移温度は高いので、樹脂組成物の使用温度としてやや高い180℃まで良好なピール強度を示すと考えられる。
樹脂組成物は、エポキシ樹脂として、ナフタレン環を2つ含み前記2つのナフタレン環がアルキレン鎖で連結されている構造を分子中に有する3官能以上の第1のエポキシ樹脂と、メソゲン構造を分子中に有する2官能の第2のエポキシ樹脂と、を含有する。樹脂組成物は、必要に応じて、エポキシ樹脂として、第1のエポキシ樹脂及び第2のエポキシ樹脂以外のその他のエポキシ樹脂を含有してもよい。
ナフタレン環におけるR1の結合する位置は特に限定されるものではなく、1位の位置であっても2位の位置であってもよく、1位の位置が好ましい。R1の結合する位置は、各ナフタレン環において同じ位置であってもよいし、異なる位置であってもよい。
メソゲン構造を有するエポキシ樹脂が特定の温度で硬化した後に良好な熱伝導性を得られることが知られている。なお、メソゲン構造を有するエポキシ樹脂を用いることで、エポキシ樹脂が特定の温度で硬化剤と反応し樹脂硬化物を形成した場合に、樹脂硬化物中にメソゲン構造に由来する規則性のある高次構造を形成することがある。また、高次構造は、樹脂組成物の硬化後にメソゲン構造により分子が配列している状態を意味する。

R2として表されるアリール基としては、フェニル基等が挙げられる。
R2として表されるアラルキル基としては、ベンジル基等が挙げられる。
R2で表されるアルキル基、アリール基及びアラルキル基は、必要に応じて置換基を更に有していてもよい。該置換基としては、アルキル基、アリール基、ハロゲン原子、水酸基等を挙げることができる。
R2としては、メチル基、及びエチル基が好ましい。
エポキシ樹脂は、1種のメソゲン構造を含んでいるものであっても、2種のメソゲン構造を含んでいるものであってもよい。
以下に、好適に用いられるメソゲン構造の具体例を示す。なお、メソゲン構造はこれら具体例に限定されるものではない。
エポキシ樹脂として、一般式(I)で表される化合物と、一般式(II)で表される化合物及び一般式(III)で表される化合物からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種と、を用いると、樹脂組成物中の分子鎖の配向性をより高めることができる傾向にある。その結果、硬化物の熱伝導性及び耐熱性が向上する傾向にある。また、エポキシ樹脂として一般式(I)で表される化合物と、一般式(II)で表される化合物及び一般式(III)で表される化合物からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種とを用い、後述する一般式(IV)で表される構造単位を有するノボラック樹脂を硬化剤として用いることで、特定のエポキシ樹脂との硬化反応による共有結合の形成が密になり、分子鎖の配向性を更に高めることができる。その結果、硬化物の熱伝導性が更に向上する傾向にある。
また、第1のエポキシ樹脂と第2のエポキシ樹脂とを併用することで、メソゲン構造の分子間力とエポキシ樹脂の架橋反応による共有結合形成の相乗効果を働かせることができる。これはどちらの効果に対しても、希釈効果があるためである。つまり、第2のエポキシ樹脂を用いずに第1のエポキシ樹脂のみをエポキシ樹脂として用いると、高架橋密度を達成できる設計になる。しかし、反応途中でエポキシ樹脂の分子鎖が動けなくなり反応停止が起きてしまうことがあり、末端の官能基が余ってしまうことから耐熱特性及び電気特性が低下する恐れがある。逆に、第1のエポキシ樹脂を用いずにメソゲン構造を有する第2のエポキシ樹脂のみをエポキシ樹脂として用いると、エポキシ樹脂の融点が高まり、溶融し難くなる。また、溶融させるために高温にすると、反応が早く起きてしまい、流動不十分な状態で硬化してしまうことから、良好な成形体が得られ難いことがある。また、このようなエポキシ樹脂は粘度が低すぎて、エポキシ樹脂がフィラーと分離することも多い。そのため、エポキシ樹脂が十分に硬化剤と混ざり合わないまま反応が進み、混合が反応が終了してしまうこと、及び、分子間力も十分に働かないままになることがある。また、硬化剤と樹脂の分離も起き易いことから、単体では非常に取り扱い難い。
被着体に十分に濡れないまま硬化反応が進んでしまうと、接着強度も低いものになってしまうことがある。しかし、第1のエポキシ樹脂と第2のエポキシ樹脂とを併用することで、第1のエポキシ樹脂が第2のエポキシ樹脂を希釈する効果及び、第2のエポキシ樹脂が第1のエポキシ樹脂を希釈する効果が相互に働き、樹脂組成物の硬化後における優れた高温での接着性及び熱伝導性を実現可能となる傾向にある。
樹脂組成物においては、第1のエポキシ樹脂と第2のエポキシ樹脂との質量基準の含有比(第1のエポキシ樹脂:第2のエポキシ樹脂)が、25:75~85:15であることが好ましく、30:70~80:20であることがより好ましく、35:65~75:25であることが更に好ましい。
また、第1のエポキシ樹脂として一般式(I)で表される化合物を用い、第2のエポキシ樹脂として一般式(III)で表される化合物を用いた場合の第1のエポキシ樹脂と第2のエポキシ樹脂との質量基準の含有比(第1のエポキシ樹脂:第2のエポキシ樹脂)は、25:75~85:15であってもよく、35:65~75:25であってもよく、40:60~65:35であってもよい。
樹脂組成物は、硬化剤を含有する。使用可能な硬化剤は、エポキシ樹脂と硬化反応が可能な化合物であれば特に制限されるものではない。硬化剤の具体例としては、ノボラック樹脂、芳香族アミン硬化剤、脂肪族アミン硬化剤、メルカプタン硬化剤、酸無水物硬化剤等の重付加型硬化剤などを挙げることができる。また、これらの硬化剤に加えて、イミダゾール、トリフェニルホスフィン、これらの化合物に側鎖を導入した誘導体等の硬化促進剤を併用してもよい。
これらの中でも、ノボラック樹脂が好ましく、下記一般式(IV)で表される構造単位を有するノボラック樹脂(以下、特定ノボラック樹脂と称することがある)がより好ましい。
特定ノボラック樹脂は、硬化剤として作用し、上述のエポキシ樹脂と反応して樹脂硬化物を形成し、絶縁性、接着性及び熱伝導性を発現する。上述の特定のエポキシ樹脂と特定ノボラック樹脂とを含むことで、硬化前にはより優れた柔軟性を示し、硬化後にはより優れた熱伝導性及び高温接着性を示すことができる。
nは1~7の数であり、一般式(IV)で表される構造単位の繰り返し数である。特定ノボラック樹脂が単一の化合物である場合、nは整数である。特定ノボラック樹脂が複数の分子種から構成される場合、nは一般式(IV)で表される構造単位の含有数の平均値であり、有理数となる。特定ノボラック樹脂が一般式(IV)で表される構造単位を有する複数種の化合物を含む場合、nは、接着性と熱伝導性の観点から、その平均値が1.7~6.5であることが好ましく、2.4~6.1であることがより好ましい。
特定ノボラック樹脂の数平均分子量は、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー法(GPC)を用いて定法に従い測定する。
特定ノボラック樹脂に含まれるフェノール化合物の含有率としては、5質量%~60質量%が好ましく、10質量%~55質量%がより好ましく、15質量%~50質量%が更に好ましい。
樹脂組成物は、必要に応じてフィラーを含有してもよい。フィラーの材質としては、絶縁性を有する無機化合物粒子であれば特に制限はなく、高い熱伝導性と体積抵抗率を有するものであることが好ましい。具体例としては、酸化アルミニウム、酸化アルミニウムの水和物、酸化マグネシウム、窒化ホウ素、窒化アルミニウム、窒化ケイ素、タルク、マイカ、水酸化アルミニウム、硫酸バリウム等の無機化合物粒子を挙げることができる。中でも、熱伝導性と絶縁性の観点から、酸化アルミニウム、窒化ホウ素、窒化アルミニウム及び水酸化アルミニウムからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の無機化合物粒子であることが好ましい。フィラーは、1種単独で用いても、2種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。
撮影した三次元像から、フィラー組織を二値化により抽出して、粒子が球であると仮定して、体積平均粒子径を算出可能である。
また、フィラーに含まれる体積平均粒子径が1μm以下の無機粒子の含有率は、熱伝導性の観点から、フィラーの総体積を100体積%とした場合、0.1体積%~30体積%であることが好ましく、接着性の観点から1体積%~20体積%であることがより好ましい。
樹脂組成物中のフィラーの含有率は、熱伝導性と接着性の観点から、樹脂組成物の全固形分体積中30体積%~90体積%であることが好ましく、熱伝導性の観点から、40体積%~80体積%であることがより好ましい。なお、樹脂組成物の全固形分体積とは、樹脂組成物を構成する成分のうち非揮発性成分の総体積を意味する。
樹脂組成物は、上記成分に加えて必要に応じてその他の成分を含むことができる。その他の成分としては、有機溶剤、硬化促進剤、分散剤等を挙げることができる。
樹脂組成物の製造方法としては、通常行なわれる樹脂組成物の製造方法を特に制限なく用いることができる。エポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤並びに必要に応じて用いられるフィラー、硬化促進剤等を混合する方法としては、通常の撹拌機、らいかい機、三本ロール、ボールミル等の分散機を適宜組み合わせて行うことができる。また、適当な有機溶剤を添加して、分散又は溶解を行うことができる。
なお、樹脂組成物を組成物セットとして用いる場合、第1組成物にはエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤が含まれ必要に応じて用いられる硬化促進剤が含まれていないことが好ましく、第2組成物には必要に応じて用いられる硬化促進剤が含まれエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤が含まれていないことが好ましい。また、必要に応じて用いられるフィラー等の成分は、第1組成物及び第2組成物のいずれか一方に含有されていてもよいし、第1組成物及び第2組成物の両方に含有されていてもよい。
樹脂シートは、樹脂組成物を含み、平均厚さが40μm~250μmとされたものである。樹脂シートが樹脂組成物から形成されることで、硬化前の保存安定性と硬化後の熱伝導性に優れる。樹脂組成物の詳細については既述の通りである。
また、樹脂シートは、樹脂組成物を含む第1の樹脂層と、第1の樹脂層上に積層される樹脂組成物を含む第2の樹脂層とを有する積層体であり、前記積層体の一方の面上に金属箔を更に有し、他方の面上にプラスチックフィルム等の保護フィルムを更に有することが好ましい。すなわち樹脂シートは更に金属箔及びプラスチックフィルム等の保護フィルムを有し、金属箔、第1の樹脂層、第2の樹脂層及びプラスチックフィルム等の保護フィルムの順に設けられてなることが好ましい。これによりボイドの穴埋め効果が得られ、絶縁耐圧がより向上する傾向がある。
樹脂シートの製造方法は、樹脂組成物を用いて、平均厚さが40μm~250μmのシート状の樹脂層を形成可能な方法であれば特に制限されず、通常用いられるシート製造方法から適宜選択することができる。樹脂シートの製造方法として具体的には、有機溶剤を含む樹脂組成物を、支持体上に、所望の平均厚さとなるように付与して樹脂組成物層を形成し、形成された樹脂組成物層を乾燥処理して有機溶剤の少なくとも一部を除去して樹脂層を形成する方法等を挙げることができる。
50mm×10mmに切断したBステージシートを直径10mmの円柱に押し付けた際のシートの割れの有無を目視で判定する。試験温度を20℃±3℃とし、試験は一つのサンプルに対して場所を変えながら、5箇所で測定する。5箇所のうち、割れが確認されないのが2箇所以上の場合、直径10mmの円柱の外周面に沿うように折り曲げが可能と判断する。
樹脂シート硬化物は、樹脂シートの熱処理物である。すなわち樹脂シート硬化物は、樹脂シートを熱処理することで樹脂シートを構成する樹脂組成物を硬化させて形成される。従って、樹脂シート硬化物は、第1のエポキシ樹脂、第2のエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤に由来する構造単位を含有する樹脂硬化物と必要に応じてフィラー等のその他の成分とを含有する。
すなわち、分子中にメソゲン構造を有するエポキシ樹脂と特定ノボラック樹脂とを用いて樹脂硬化物を形成することで、樹脂硬化物中に規則性の高い高次構造を形成することができる。しかし、特定の温度範囲でなければ、規則性の高い構造が得られない場合があることから、所望の熱伝導率が得られないことがある。上述の樹脂シート硬化物を製造する際の熱処理条件によれば、分子中にメソゲン構造を有するエポキシ樹脂と特定ノボラック樹脂とを用いて樹脂硬化物を形成する場合に、規則性の高い構造の硬化物が得られやすく、熱伝導率を向上させやすい傾向にある。
樹脂シート積層体は、樹脂シートと、前記樹脂シートの少なくとも一方の面上に配置される金属板又は放熱板とを有する。樹脂シート積層体を構成する樹脂シートの詳細については既述の通りである。また金属板又は放熱板としては、銅板、アルミ板、セラミックス板等が挙げられる。なお、金属板又は放熱板の厚さは特に限定されず、目的等に応じて適宜選択することができる。また、金属板又は放熱板として、銅箔、アルミニウム箔等の金属箔を使用してもよい。
樹脂シート積層体は、前記樹脂シートの一方の面上に金属板又は放熱板を有し、前記金属板又は放熱板の配置される面とは反対の面に金属箔を有していてもよい。
樹脂シート積層体硬化物は、前記樹脂シート積層体の熱処理物である。樹脂シート積層体硬化物の製造方法は、前記樹脂シートの少なくとも一方の面上に、金属板又は放熱板を配置する工程と、前記樹脂シートに熱を与えて前記樹脂シートを硬化させる工程とを有し、必要に応じてその他の工程を含んで構成される。
半導体装置は、半導体素子と、前記半導体素子上に配置される樹脂シート硬化物とを備える。前記半導体装置は必要に応じてその他の部材を更に有していてもよい。前記半導体素子としては、通常用いられる半導体素子を特に制限なく用いることができる。半導体素子として具体的には、IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)、サイリスタ等のパワー半導体素子、LED素子などを挙げることができる。以下、図面を参照しながら半導体装置の構成例について説明する。
図1は、ハウジング103内に、パワー半導体素子110が、はんだ層112を介して配置される銅板104と、樹脂シート硬化物102と、グリース層108を介して水冷ジャケット120上に配置される放熱ベース106とで構成されたパワー半導体装置100の構成例を示す模式断面図である。パワー半導体素子110の周囲は、封止樹脂146で封止されている。パワー半導体素子110を含む発熱体が、樹脂シート硬化物102を介して放熱部材と接触していることで、効率よく放熱が行なわれる。なお、放熱ベース106は、熱伝導性を有する銅、アルミニウム等を用いて構成することができる。またパワー半導体素子110としては、IGBT、サイリスタ等を挙げることができる。
LED装置は、LED素子と、樹脂シート硬化物と、基板とがこの順に積層されて構成される。LED装置は、必要に応じてその他の部材を更に有していてもよい。前記基板としては、アルミニウム基板を挙げることができる。
図7は、樹脂シート硬化物を用いて構成されるLEDライトバー400の構成の一例を示す模式断面図である。LEDライトバー400は、ハウジング138と、グリース層136と、アルミニウム基板134と、樹脂シート硬化物132と、LEDチップ130とがこの順に配置され、ビス140で固定されて構成される。発熱体であるLEDチップ130が樹脂シート硬化物132を介してアルミニウム基板134上に配置されることで、効率よく放熱することができる。
